That's what I'll be looking at next. Or if I want something capable of drops and more than xc, the Reign is where it's at. Or the trek remedy. People really like the trek remedy. American made baby!

I looked at the Giant Trance bikes. The X4 is the only one I can afford. Would you recommend it? It seems to have good reviews. Might try one out this weekend if I can find a local dealer. I'm planning a bit mtb this sept and was going to rent a bike... maybe I'll buy this instead!
